Sedgwick building will need sewerage before

Sedgwick building will need sewerage before
we can give them connection with the new
system. In the meantime we ought to con-
| meet il with the Topeka avenue sewer.
L vas decided that the sewer committee
! see to procuring right Of way from the
south of the city to the river.
| The city attorney was instructed to give
the city council information as to the proper
| method Of procedure in the matter at the
next meeting.
| It was moved to refund TO Major Powell
| 5000, money paid for exclusive advertising In
| the city. Carried.
Mr.. Harris, chairman of special COM
mittee, reported favorable to removing the
cremator and the appointment OF a commit
tee to look up suitable site. The report was
accepted.
The Mayor appointed English, Derby, Har-
ris, johnson and Kenyon as committee to
look up site. AS viii be seen, the commit
tee is composed of member from each ward
| and it was predicted that it would be lively
time.
Mr. Buckridge stated that the cremator
did not burn all garbage taken to it, but it
was dumped into the river as could be prov
ed. They were paid for burning it, however.
An ordnance was passed giving Judge
Dyer 500 for trip to Hot Springs.
Fire marshal was given salary Of SIS per
month
An ordinsnce was lost regulating speed
over bridges in the city limits.
An ordinance was passed giving the city
engineer $1,000 per year.
A committee was appointed to examine
the CURLING and gutteripg on South Main
street to settle the question Of good work
manship.
The police judges room was provided with
a stove.
An electric light was ordered on the cor
ner of Kellogg and Fourth avenue.
Promptly at II o'clock Mr.. Buckridge let
his chair and commenced to figure for his,
coat and hat. His goirg would break a
quorum, and some mem bers asked that he
remain. He proceeded to the door, saying
they could fine him $50 if they wanted to,
but ne was going. He seemed to care moth
ing for going without the consent OF the
mayor, or il he thought Of it he never men
toned the same. The mayer got red in the
face es a result OF his good chance for
eating left and being treated with
little less than all insult. AS Mr.. Buckridge
opened the door, he declared that 1t
was time all honest men be in bed to which
Derby replied for him TO go. At that mo-
ment lie returned and the clerk commenced
TO read the bills. Street bills read amount
ed to 81 200 and it was moved that S275 be
added for part payment OF Schuyler, but it
lost with Buckridge voting in the negative.
The ordinan re failed to pass as Buckridge
voted in the negative.
From the vote it became evident that little |
could BIZ done, as one member had got itinto |
his head to vote il the negative, and that was
sufficient to kill any motion that could be |
made. The situation, judging from some OF
bhe councilmen's faces. was an exceedingly |
hot one They looked at each other and then |
repeat. This program was gone over sew
,ral times, when il was decided to adjourn,
and adjourn they did.
Judge Hill was yet on hand waiting some
lction on the electric light question. In feet
t had been reached on the business program
If the evening. He had come from Fit.
Scott to the council but with soma surprise
gracefully bowed to his fate.
No extra session was provided for but it is
believed that a session will be called in the
lear future to attend to unfinished business
md some official features of importar ce that
ave been hanging fire for come months.
